Steve Jobs Quotes

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma -
which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice.
And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become.
Everything else is secondary.

Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.

Steve Jobs

It comes from saying no to 1,000 things to make sure we don't get on the wrong track or try to do too much.

Steve Jobs

I think we're having fun. I think our customers really like our products. And we're always trying to do better.
